Veronica Beard Denim Blazer

This denim blazer from Veronica Beard might be the dreamiest, most versatile fall layer, and it’s a dickey jacket! I recommend snagging the coordinating denim trousers too. Worn together, you’re the epitome of relaxed polish and precision tailoring, worn separately, you’re the chicest mom at school pickup. While you’re on Veronica Beard’s site, I recommend you check out the entire fall collection because it might be my favorite they’ve ever done.

Shashi Gold Hoops

You know what they say: A good gold hoop never goes out of style. Okay, maybe that’s just something I say, but it certainly applies to these polished, gold hoops from Shashi. I’ve worn these earrings constantly the last couple of years and they’ve held up amazingly well. They’re comfortable, they match everything, and the best news: Shopbop just restocked them. Fair warning: My only slight complaint is that they’re a little heavier than your average hoop so if you’re sensitive to earring weight, these might not be for you.

Children’s Rattan Shop Stall

We got this little rattan shop stall from Ellie & Becks Co. for Coco’s birthday and it has been the biggest hit. We stocked it with toy food and a cash register and she is obsessed beyond words. Seriously, she’s ready to start selling wooden fruits and vegetables at the local farmers market. What I love most about this piece is how versatile it is—right now it’s a grocery store, but next week it might be a puppet theater, lemonade stand, or if I’m lucky, a coffee shop.

Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches (Discount Code!)

No matter how small, an unexpected blemish can absolutely ruin your day. Or even week. I absolutely ALWAYS keep these Hero Cosmetics’ Mighty Patches stocked in my beauty cabinet (and my travel bag). They contain hydrocolloid, a medical-grade gel that draws gunk out, so your blemish is flattened and less noticeable in just 6-8 hours. And, they’re so easy to use: just stick the patch on the spot and peel it off hours later to reveal a visibly flatter, smaller, less red blemish. I often sleep in them (they don’t budge, even if you’re a stomach sleeper) but since they’re translucent they…

Amazon Sweatsuit Set

I’m always on the hunt for relaxed clothing that doesn’t look like I just crawled out of bed, even if I did indeed just crawl out of bed. Amazon Essentials has come through with an absolutely iconic sweatsuit set. This relaxed crew-fit sweatshirt and matching jogger are made from a delicious, thick, buttery soft cotton blend that’s machine washable. The pair come in sizes ranging from XS to 6X in eight colors, my favorite of which is this dreamy periwinkle blue. Sidenote: I don’t know why, but I’m completely obsessed with the pockets they put on the back of the…

Starling Jewelry Birth Flower Charm

I recently shared on IG reels my hatred for my birthstone, which is my personal cross to bear. Enter: birth flowers. Turns out, in addition to gemstones, every month has a birth flower tied to the season when it blooms. So, if you or a loved one also hates their birthstone, I recommend they check out these gorgeous vintage-inspired birth flower charms from Starling Jewelry. These charms come in 14K yellow, white or rose gold, with or without the chain, and even have an option for engraving.

Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer

This SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer from Makeup By Mario has quickly become my obsession but it’s extremely hard to describe because it does not fit neatly into any category. The product is basically a super creamy, tinted balm that offers light coverage and a warm glow to even out skin tone and make you look ALIVE. Is it a skin tint? Kinda. A creamy bronzer? Sorta. Is it worth all the hype? A resounding yes. FYI, I use shade Light Medium.

Hotel Lobby Aspen Candle

The new Aspen candle from Hotel Lobby Candle was created in collaboration with Hotel Jerome and is quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever smelled. The smoky leather and warm cedarwood scents are so rich, it’s completely erasing any fear of summer ending and making me fully gung-ho for COZY SZN. This beauty is the ultimate fall candle.

Mary Orton x Kilte Collection

My collaboration with Kilte Collection is live! I have been a HUGE fan of Kilte since its launch in 2017 when the brand’s incredible founder, Hannah Hale Redfern, set out to make luxury knitwear for multi-dimensional women while also providing flexible work options for mothers. Our design collaboration builds on that premise with a collection of washable cashmere sustainably made in Italy. You read that right: washable cashmere. The capsule is named after my daughters and includes the Colette Cableknit, the Elizabeth Set (also sold as separates), and the Georgiana Bow. Each piece is available in light camel, black and (my…

Matouk x Schumacher Bedding Collaboration

Matouk’s gorgeously crafted linens + Schumacher’s beautiful prints = the bedding collab of my dreams. From botanical prints and classic checks to a marriage of animal stripes and herringbone, each piece in this collection is dreamy. But, they didn’t stop with the bedroom, the Matouk Schumacher collection extends to timeless table linens, bath towels, even tissue box covers. The most beautiful tissue box covers you ever did see.
